The Disappearance of Roxanne Paltauf Part Two

Just days after Roxanne Paltauf vanished from a Budget Inn near Interstate 35 and Rundberg Lane in Austin, her missing ID surfaced in the wallet of a violent offender arrested after an assault at a neighboring motel. Detectives soon discovered that this man and Roxanne’s boyfriend, Louis Walls, offered conflicting stories about how he came into possession of it.As Roxanne’s family continued searching Austin’s Rundberg neighborhood, they encountered Loretta Lynn Roberts, a woman who promised to help find Roxanne. Less than two weeks later, Roberts was found dead in a vacant lot south of downtown. Her murder remains unsolved, and Roxanne’s family has long questioned whether the two cases are connected.Over the years, Roxanne’s loved ones organized searches, erected billboards, and kept her story in the public eye as investigators pursued leads across Texas and beyond. New allegations against Louis Walls, a major FBI-backed search near the motel, and newly discovered cellphone records only deepened the mystery surrounding what happened on July 7, 2006. Nearly twenty years later, Roxanne remains missing, and detectives continue to consider both Louis Walls and Geoffrey Moore persons of interest.Part two of two.Roxanne’s family is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction, or for information that leads to finding her remains.
